| Excessive gain with a Belles preamp Change the volume control. I had a similar situation with a preamp . I got used to it. I just had to be mindful of the situation. It wasn't that much of a problem. | |
| How important is spending time with your gear? It seems that my thoughts are diametrically opposite to yours and I respect your need to enjoy the aesthetics of your technology. It is this diversity of values and need that makes a hi-fi industry flourish. Excellent response @bobpyle There a... | |
| Choosing the right SUT for my setup @jctyler I must also apologize for highjacking your thread. I didn't mean to do so. But maybe you have both sides of the issue. Choose one and enjoy | |
| Choosing the right SUT for my setup Folks, I asked for enlightenment which you have given. So thanks for your responses. Here is what I said from the beginning The biggest benefit is the cost which can be cheaper than a good phono preamp with enough gain for the LOMC. But even thi... | |
| Choosing the right SUT for my setup @audioguy85 SUT is a 1/10 version does not necessarily mean the cartridge will see 470 ohms. Here is an example, my Jensen mc-2rr-L has a 430 ohm impedance that the cartridge will see, while my Rothwell mcx SUT, also 1/10, presents a 100 ohm... | |
| How accurate are cable descriptions for your system? how accurately do you find those descriptions matching up to what you eventually here, if you try the cables? I’d give it some credence. But it often comes down to a matter of scale. IOW, the bass may be 90% for one and 10% for another. It also... | |
| How accurate are cable descriptions for your system? The Tuneful cables are a Belden cable. Similar to what Bluejeans cable do, , They buy the bulk Belden cables and terminate them. Not meant as a slur on BJ, just a fact. I suspect the same from SVS & the other co. on Amazon. IF one is not inc... | |
| Can a DAC sort out a flat\cold amp? Those of you who keep harping on this amp are totally wrong. I have heard this amp with a set of monitor speakers in a rather large showroom with NO sub. The speakers are Watkins Gen 4 which are winners of the Golden ear &editors Choice Awards... | |
| Choosing the right SUT for my setup I've never understood why someone would choose a SUT except as a temporary solution when going to LOMC from MM. I did this when I first started using LOMC. It would seem that the compromise is more than the benefit. You will have a n extra compone... | |
| The Audiophile's Wife @grannyring Wow! I just came across this. Your wife is a hoot!! I love here style of writing. Thanks.for the laughs | |
| Turntable noobie...what advice do you have? Learn the Goldmine Standard of record grading & to sight grade a used LP so that you have a good idea of whether it has surface noise. I do NOT buy anything under a VG+ grade. Read the Goldmine grading scale and learn it. Find used sellers th... | |
| Awaiting a 1st impression I remember back in the 1900’s when the people were so dumb as to actually dislike and not support those countries who were carrying out genocide and had a record of barbaric human rights violations. Its so nice that this woke generation has come t... | |
| Awaiting a 1st impression @boostedis To those bashing MIC, there are manufacturing techniques that can only be done in China because the US (and others) don't possess the technique! | |
| Advice on online shipping labels @sns Thank you for the info. Glad you told me about USPS because I had pretty much determined to use them since they were only $116. The online shipping calculator .com and Pirate ship, both have good information from what I have seen. So I will... | |
| Advice on online shipping labels I'm not trying to sell it. I'm upgrading it. This the need to ship. But if I were selling I'd agree with you |
